Winnings

If free tickets are won for Lotto 6/49 and Lotto Max, a copy of the new free tickets will be sent to your group only. Once we are aware of the winnings, we can add extra money to it and play it for the next round. If you are not interested in continuing, the Captain will refund your share of any money you have won depending on the number of players in that group.

If the package is valued at above $10,010, it will be sold to the winner of that ticket if he/she wants it. Afterwards, the money is divided evenly among the group members. Next it will be offered to the public, and the money will be divided by that group. Any prize in cash value above $ 10,010 will be divided among that group only.
- Prizes like cars, or any valuable item above $10,010, will be sold and the money divided by that group. Below $10,000 it goes to the winner of the ticket. But it also depends on what we receive from the lottery winning.
